Kilkenny; Janet, Bridgette; Lafferty, Frenchpark, Roscommon
« on: Sunday 15 March 09 22:42 UTC (UK) »
Hello

I believe my grandmother was Janet (Janie) Kilkenny from Frenchpark and her mother may have been Bridgette Lafferty or maybe Laverty.
I am interested in finding out as mush as possible about both the Kilkennys or Laffertys and their origins.
Thanks
Shelly

dont know the timeframe that your Kilkenny and Lafferty ancestors lived in Frenchpark but there are three (possibly 4) Kilkenny entries in Griffiths (1850s/1860s) for the Civil Parish of Tibohine, which contains the town of Frenchpark.

see : http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_family_search_form.php

There are also three or four Lafferty entries in the same parish.

Thank you Shane this has been really helpful
Will keep doing more research as I am sure some of these must be distant relations.
